Chapter Membership Development
The Ottawa Chapter works closely with Ottawa Section MD Committee with the objective to recruit new members to ComSoc.
The Ottawa Chapter is also maintaining the membership retention by contacting the members to renew their membership.
At the beginning and/or during coffee breaks of each technical seminar, or social event the Chapter always promotes MD and encourages nonmembers to become IEEE ComSoc members.
Also as part of the retention and MD, the Chapter encourages members to apply for Senior Membership and for IEEE Fellow. Also, inspire active members to be volunteers with the Chapter or in ComSoc conferences.
